NEWBIE from Winchester
NEWBIE from Winchester
Hey everyone. I recently moved to Winchester, well part time in Winchester. I am active duty Air Force stationed in Hampton at Langley Air Force Base, but my wife works at the hospital there so we bought a house there and I come home on the weekends. I retire in a year and a half, so it isn't that bad. Anyhow, I have been oversea's for about 14 years and am so glad to get back to my guns and hunting. My problem is finding a place to hunt! I prefer deer hunting and varmint hunting but I have no idea where to go. My wife wants to hunt too, so any ideas would help. I just found a new range because of this forum so I am glad I found this place.

bard69. Try Phelps WMA for deer hunting. Its right next door. Here's a link so you can check out all of VA's hunting regs and opportunities. Click on public hunting lands.
